@AdamJ are we looking at a new vs. worn SBG jacket here??? Or is that the nonfade black vs. a worn SBG?

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ nice photos, folks about to get hyped!

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle sample vs a production one that's just arrived

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ holy smokes!!

Adam, would you be able to give a bit of insight into how your sample feels after some break in? How's the drape and softness?

[popvulture]

@AdamJ excellent! You've washed yours what... probably 3x?

[AdamJ]

@popvulture I think it's had 4 washes since I've had it.

@Mizmazzle softened up a lot, it's become a lot comfier to wear over time. Particularly in the shoulders and sleeves where it drapes more naturally and is visibly less stiff

[AdamJ]

Proper comparison pics will follow tomorrow!

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ cool buddy, thanks. I've had some SBG jeans and those became so soft and comfy. Guess I'm curious how much stiffness all the pleats and pockets create along the front of the jacket. Looks like one fun jacket to break in!!

[popvulture]

I'm guessing it stays a bit stiffer as a jacket, if the 19oz denim's any indicator. That said, the SBG is pretty soft/comfy stuff, so I'm sure it's not gonna be like walking around wearing sandpaper (which we love) as with the Lefty.

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture totally. The lefty is the base of rigidity haha. Anything less and I think we're gaining exponential comfort. I love my lefty, but wouldn't call it "comfortable" per say...though I love the feeling of bullet proofness it provides. For me, this time around, if i'm going to add a new type 3, I want it to be really comfortable to wear, yet have than nice heaviness to it we love, while having a soft drape once its broken in. These are my personal wants in a new type 3.
